Botanic Gardens as World Ecological Resources for Innovative Technological Development

Author(s)
V. Ya. Kuzevanov, E. V. Gubiy
Abstract
The research focused on long term dynamics of the world botanic gardens (BGs) as well as individual ones demonstrates their ongoing transformation into shared innovative multidisciplinary centers of research, education, conservation, social services and commercialization in time course of global urbanization. A new vector model of the BGs complementary positioning between nature and a community was proposed. Due to the public-private partnership and a community support BGs became unique multipurpose ecological resources via broadening their target groups of audiences, engaging with community concerns and environmental needs. Based on comprehensive plant collections, traditional knowledge and practices, innovations, modern bio-technologies, eco-technologies and socio-technologies as well as using tolerant plants of economical and ecological importance many BGs make a substantial contribution to prepare plans for the upcoming sixth technological revolution and against the challenges of climate change.
